Larson Wins at Darlington in Xfinity Series with JASPER 4-Speed Transmission, Eckes Wins in Truck Series

Running a JASPER 4-Speed Transmission, Kyle Larson won Saturday’s Shriners Children’s 200 for the NASCAR Xfinity Series at Darlington Raceway. Larson took the lead from John Hunter Nemechek on the race’s final lap. As the two cars made contact multiple times coming to the checkered flag, Larson’s car bounced off the turn four wall, sending Nemechek into a spin, stopping short of the finish line. Justin Allgaier, Cole Custer, and Austin Hill finished second, third, and fourth. Nemechek finished fifth. Drivers using JASPER products took seven of the top ten finishing places. Christian Eckes, also running a JASPER 4-Speed Transmission, won Friday’s Buckle Up South Carolina 200 for the NASCAR® Craftsman Truck Series at Darlington. Starting fourth, Eckes led a race-high 82 laps, earning his second series victory of 2023. Rajah Caruth finished sixth.
